Janatantrik Terai Mukti Morcha – Jwala
Singh (JTMM-J)

Formation

The Jwala Singh faction
of the Janatantrik Terai Mukti Morcha (JTMM-J) was formed by Nagendra
Kumar Paswan a.k.a. Jwala Singh in August 2006 after he broke away from
the Jaya Krishna Goit led JTMM. Jwala Singh is a former CPN-Maoist cadre
and had joined Goit when he floated the JTMM. Later, he developed differences
with Goit over the strategies to be adopted for the liberation of the
Terai and establishment of an independent Terai state.

Objective

Jwala Singh demands complete
secession from Nepal and to form a new independent state of Terai. In
fact, he has already declared Terai as an independent state and says
that any talks with the Government will be to demarcate the border only.

Demands

The Terai should be declared an independent
state.

There should be proportionate participation
by determining constituencies on the basis of population.

All the police, army and administration
in the Terai should be evacuated and Madhesi people should be posted
there.

Population census should be conducted
in Terai under the supervision of Madhesis.

All the revenue collected from Terai
should be spent for the development of Terai.

All the Madhesi killed by the state
and Maoists should be declared martyrs and NPR 1.5 million should
be provided as compensation.

Citizenship should be issued from the
central to district level in coordination with the Madhesis.

The land of Madhesis captured by Maoists
should be given back.

Maoists should end their ‘donation drive’
and tax collection in Terai.

Leadership and Structure

Jwala Singh is the leader
of the organisation. The group claims to have formed an armed militia
in 12 of the Terai’s 20 districts. With a cadre strength of a few hundreds,
this group has an organisation modeled on the CPN-Maoist, with a central
committee, central and district level governments, a Terai Liberation
Army and district committees across the districts.

Area of Activity

It is primarily active
in the Terai region bordering India in the districts of Siraha, Dhanusha,
Morang, Sarlahi, Bara, Saptari, Mohattari, Birgunj and Rautahat.
